Hi just a quick note to say we will no longer be officially advertising on SN (mainly due to the decline and therefore value for money of forum advertising) and therefore the AS Performance user name will cease to be able to be accessed.............
please contact the office direct for any queries / orders

Simple thing is Alyn is a proven provider of quality goods at a quality price with great service and advice why go anywhere else it doesn't matter to me personally that he is stopping advertising on here his number is in my phone and when goods are ordered they are at my door the next day what more can you ask for period.

I get all my stuff same day if it's in stock, which it usually is.

Alyn, it matters not that you won't be advertising on here, you weren't when I got my car 13 years ago. People will always still recommend you, like they did then. Word of mouth is a more powerful advert, than paying any fee, IMHO.

Forums are dying everywhere still look at scooby net every week but very little new information
loosing photobucket as it’s simplicity was the death for many posts as it so easy to post on Facebook now
facebook isn’t as good for project threads and information disappears down to quickly which we find on a couple of car groups I’m in

Facebook advertising is massive now and very cheap
I have 10k followers and 20 messages a night for the business I run
I used to spend 20k + advertising 20 years ago now £3 boosts an avert

Alan is well established and respected in the community so why continue supported scooby net

When that time comes I wish we could buy the website. If there not making enough on advertising they will close it.

Yeah, hopefully thereíll be options if it comes to that. When you look back on old threads, itís an absolute gold mine of info from legends of the Impreza scene... some of whom are no longer with us and some that just disappeared without trace

Yeah everytime I search anything on google, a lot of the link first links are all too scoobynet. Never social media.

Scoobynet was dying a toxic death well before Facebook Groups took hold. In 2018 the information left on Scoobynet is a mixture of helpful, outdated or just plain wrong. There's far better resources out there now which don't have traffic statistics boosted by NSR posts. I look at Scoobynet out of habit, in reality it gives me nothing tangible or useful in terms of a 'resource' for Subaru owners.

Sad but true.

Quite the opposite actually, the trend will find enthusiasts moving back to forums due to the quality of content. User groups on facebook have all sorts of riffraff more and more people are heading back to the forums.

I am no longer on Facebook but use twitter and Instagram. Posts get so lost I honestly don’t know how they can compete with forums. Hopefully it will phase out and the forums will return. Plenty of good info stored on here
